Stellar Tactics Roadmap

[UPDATED 5/17/24]

Latest progress update.
https://steamcommunity.com/games/465490/announcements/detail/4187861330565972561

I thought I would post the development roadmap for everyone. While I won't make promises or provide any hard dates for the release of any of the features below. I'll keep this post pinned and update it if/when there are changes.

I should also say that though internal testing of these systems shows that these systems are stable and fully playable, Early Access will most certainly surface new bugs/issues/problems as well as gameplay balance and hardware-specific issues. Early Access is for those who want to play the game and be involved in providing feedback, suggestions and who don't mind a few rough edges.

Just a note on the definition of [DONE] below - I plan to return to all systems and add polish. Systems like combat will get additional features and polish. The goal right now is to get the main systems in, gather feedback and then go back and polish based on community suggestions.

THINGS I AM WORKING ON FOR THE NEXT MAJOR CONTENT PATCH

Chapter 3 (of 3)
The introduction of "Azimuth" that can be used in space.
Crew mission system.
Adjustments to EXP gain including EXP from missions and space combat.
Stats will affect space skills.
Ship "devices" that can be used in space combat.

ACHIEVEMENTS
Achievements will be released near the end of development. I am currently tracking many of the achievements in your saves, though there is no interface to view these in the game yet. When achievements are released, you will get credit for any tracked bonuses the first time you load an ongoing save.

RECENTLY COMPLETED:

Chapter 2 (of 3)
The introduction of "Azimuth"
Expansion of the mission system to include branching procedural missions of various kinds.

This sounds like such a good idea. Will we be able to disable and board hostile ships? (crosses fingers that it'll be shiny)

Stellar Tactics [developer] Jul 4, 2016 @ 5:34am

Yes Diarmuhnd - I'm planning for disabling and boarding ships. May not be ready for Alpha since each ship needs it's own scene modeled and variants of that scene. It is coming, however, and I consider it a top feature on my list.

The plan is that you need to disable engines, shields and weapons. You then hack the ships security systems remotely. You can then board each of the 40 flyable ships in the game. Your team will need to hunt down the crew and either disable them or take them out of they are hostile.

Once the crew is disabled, you will be able to attach a beacon to the ship and a tug will pull it to the nearest Trade Station or Shipyard. The ship becomes yours to use, sell or scrap.

oh my gosh ! "Shut up! And take my money!" >'."< lol. jk.

In all seriousness, That's awesome and thanks for the fast reply.
Lately, i've chosen to back more promising early access games.. rather than go with the AAA games (a little disalusioned at how 'pretty' they make them.. and shallow). So I will most definately pick this up when it becomes available and add my support to your project.

If there is more involved testing neededl feel free to ask for more detailed contact info. Otherwise... i will try to await the ea release of Stellar Tactics patiently.

Hi, I added this game to my wishlist since I saw it. Everything about the game seems good. I hope it will be in early access soon. Good luck with the game.
